Over the past few decades, numerous studies investigated vigor and productivity of fruit species depending on rootstock which they were grafted, but exact size-controlling mechanism itself has not been fully elucidated, nor rapid selection methods defined. Thus, this study aimed to assess root anatomical characteristics their influence overall ‘Summit’ cherry tree confirm effect establish an ef...

A graft-transmissible disease of cherry trees herein referred to as mottle leaf is known to have existed in different sections of the Pacific Northwest for the last several years. In 1917 D. F. Fisher photographed ^ cherry leaf specimens collected near Monitor, Wash., which exhibited symptoms similar to mottle leaf. Zeller (8) * reported having observed the disease in 1920 on Napoleon (Royal An...

Data from four DNA regions (rbcL, matK, 26S rDNA, and ITS) as well as extant and fossil morphology were used to reconstruct the phylogeny and biogeographic history of an intercontinentally disjunct plant group, the cornelian cherries of Cornus (dogwoods). The study tests previous hypotheses on the relative roles of two Tertiary land bridges, the North Atlantic land bridge (NALB) and the Bering ...

BACKGROUND exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is a multifactorial phenomenon that induces muscle function loss because of mechanical and immune stressor stimuli. This immunological stress is mostly caused by inflammation and increased oxidative status. Cherries are fruits that contain a phenolic compound known as anthocyanin, which serves as a pigment in natura. However, research suggests th...

The environment pollution with heavy metals is due mainly to the activity of humans. High quantities of these metals can be toxic for all organisms. The entry of heavy metals from the polluted environment in fruits and plants is influenced by different factors and stopped through several mechanisms. Their presence can have effects on different physiological processes: photosynthesis, respiratio...
